Ingiloys

The Ingiloys are a Georgian-speaking ethnographic group of north-western Azerbaijan, living mainly in the Qakh, Zaqatala and Balakan districts. Descended from the medieval Georgian population of the region of Hereti, many were converted to Islam under Persian and local Muslim rule from the 17th century, while others remained Orthodox Christians. They speak a dialect of Georgian.
